By ady Norah Bentinck. Illustrated. New York: George H. Doran Com- pany. Holding her mind quite straight— neither permitting it to lean toward her subject nor away from it—Lady | Norah Bentinck here produces a b ture of the daily life of the ex-kaiser after his flight into Holland. A party of this time the famous exile s at Ameron as the guest of ( Godard Bentnick. The rest of it he spent at Doorn House, where he now fives. o far as it holds lo the subject, the book appears to be a-fair { record of the ex-kaiser's daily round —a very limited and uneventful round. Loyal attendants of the ex- iemnernr pass into the picture an out again. Visitors are named and | described. In a word, the complete content—the superficial content, that is—of the life of Willlam Hohénzol- lern is set down here. There is, however, no attempt to dip into his psychological reactions, nor to reach toward his political outlook. As a picture of the externals of this sit- uation the book poEsesses & good cur- rent value that will, in time, take on the historic cast. It is a work of many irrelevancies—as if the ma- | terial were not sufficient, in itself. to 1l the picture. There are long ac- counts of the Bentinck family. Some of these have a bearing. a slight bear- ing. upon the subject in hand. Many of them are entirely without bearing upon this case, however intercsting they in themselves may be. A smaller book, a book of better co- } hesion, would have had a correspond- ingly greater and more lasting value. | THE WHISTLER JOURNAL. By E. R. and J. Pennell, authors of ‘The' !
